Google Pay on Web

Accept Google Pay on your website using Finix.

This guide details how to get started accepting Google Pay on web.

Make sure your website fulfils requirements before getting started.

Step 1: Add the Google Pay Library

First, load the Google Pay API JavaScript library into your app. You can add the Google Pay library by following these steps:

Include this JavaScript in your website to add Google Pay's JavaScript Library so your website can make calls to Google Pay’s API.

Copy

Copied

<script async src="https://pay.google.com/gp/p/js/pay.js" onload="onGooglePayLoaded()">
 function onGooglePayLoaded() {
   window.googlePayClient = new google.payments.api.PaymentsClient({
     environment: "TEST"
   });
 }
</script>

Once you've added the code and the library loads, create a PaymentsClient object.
- For a sandbox environment, pass in TEST for environment. This returns test payment methods that can be used for sandbox transactions.
- For a live environment, pass in LIVE for environment.

Copy

Copied

const paymentsClient =
    new google.payments.api.PaymentsClient({environment: 'TEST'});

Step 2: Define Google Pay API Version

After you've added the Google Pay API JavaScript library, declare the version of the Google Pay API that your site uses. The major and minor versions are required in the fields of each passed object and are included in the response. The following code sample shows the declared API versions.

Copy

Copied

const baseRequest = {
  apiVersion: 2,
  apiVersionMinor: 0
};

Step 3: Request a Finix Payment Token

Now that you've defined your Google Pay API Version, request a Finix payment token.

Copy

Copied

const tokenizationSpecification = {
  type: 'PAYMENT_GATEWAY',
  parameters: {
    'gateway': 'finix',
    'gatewayMerchantId': 'IDxxx'
  }
};

Request Arguments

Field	Type	Description
`gateway`	string, required	Pass in finix
`gatewayMerchantId`	string, required	The `Identity` ID.

Step 4: Define Allowed Card Networks

Now that we've requested a Finix payment token, you can set which card networks will be accepted on your site by:

Defining allowedCardNetworks .
Defining allowedCardAuthMethods which sets the authentication methods supported by your site and gateway.

Copy

Copied

const allowedCardNetworks = ["AMEX", "DISCOVER", "INTERAC", "JCB", "MASTERCARD", "VISA"];
const allowedCardAuthMethods = ["PAN_ONLY", "CRYPTOGRAM_3DS"];

For both PAN_ONLY and CRYPTOGRAM_3DS authorization methods, support for 3D Secure is dictated by the processors you integrate with in allowedCardNetworks. Finix accepts both PAN_ONLY and CRYPTOGRAM_3DS authorization methods.

Step 5: Describe Allowed Payment Methods

After you've defined the supported payment card networks, you need to describe your allowed payment methods. You can do this with the following steps:

Combine allowedAuthMethods and allowedCardNetworks to describe how your site supports the CARD payment method.
Extend the baseCardPaymentMethod object and describe the information you expect to be returned to your application. Include a description of the tokenized payment data.

Copy

Copied

const baseCardPaymentMethod = {
  type: 'CARD',
  parameters: {
    allowedAuthMethods: allowedCardAuthMethods,
    allowedCardNetworks: allowedCardNetworks
  }
};
const cardPaymentMethod = Object.assign(
  {tokenizationSpecification: tokenizationSpecification},
  baseCardPaymentMethod
);

Step 6: Check Readiness to Pay with Google Pay

Now that you've described your allowed payment methods, you need to check readiness to pay with the Google Pay API. To check readiness to pay with Google Pay's API:

Add allowedPaymentMethods to the baseRequest object.
Call isReadyToPay() to see if Google Pay's API is supported by the current device and browser for the payment methods specified.

Copy

Copied

const isReadyToPayRequest = Object.assign({}, baseRequest);
isReadyToPayRequest.allowedPaymentMethods = [baseCardPaymentMethod];

paymentsClient.isReadyToPay(isReadyToPayRequest)
    .then(function(response) {
      if (response.result) {
        // add a Google Pay payment button
      }
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
      // show error in developer console for debugging
      console.error(err);
    });

Step 7: Add the Google Pay Button

Now that you've checked readiness to pay with Google Pay API, you can add a Google Pay payment button to your website.

For information about the different button types and display requirements, see Google's Brand guidelines .
To try all the different Google Pay buttons, see Google Pay's interactive demo .

Copy

Copied

const button =
    paymentsClient.createButton({onClick: () => console.log('TODO: click handler'),
    allowedPaymentMethods: []}); // make sure to provide an allowed payment method
document.getElementById('container').appendChild(button);

Copy

Copied

<google-pay-button
  environment="TEST"
  button-color="default"
  button-type="subscribe"
></google-pay-button>

CSS Properties

Field	Type	Description
`button-color`	string, optional	Color of the button. Available values are default, black, and white
`button-type`	string, optional	Available values are black, white, and white-outline
`button-locale`	string, required	Set the language of the button. There's a variety of buttons that you can use on your website to begin the transaction. This includes: book, buy, checkout, donate, order, pay, plain, and subscribe.

Step 8: Create a Payment Data Request

After creating a Google Pay payment button, you need to create a PaymentDataRequest object. Follow these steps:

Build a JavaScript object that describes your site's support for the Google Pay API. See the PaymentDataRequest object for a list of supported properties.

Copy

Copied

const paymentDataRequest = Object.assign({}, baseRequest);
paymentDataRequest.allowedPaymentMethods = [cardPaymentMethod];
paymentDataRequest.transactionInfo = {
  countryCode: 'US',
  currencyCode: 'USD',
  totalPrice: '123.45',
  totalPriceStatus: 'FINAL'
};
paymentDataRequest.merchantInfo = {
  merchantId: '12345678901234567890'
  merchantName: 'Example Merchant'
};

`transactionInfo` Request Arguments

Field	Type	Description
`countryCode`	string, required	The ISO country code.
`currencyCode`	string, required	The currency code of the locale.
`totalPrice`	string, required	Total value of the transaction with an optional decimal precision of two decimal places.
`totalPriceStatus`	string, required	The status of the total price used. Pass FINAL if the total price doesn’t change from the amount presented to the buyer. Pass ESTIMATED if the total price might adjust based on the details of the response, such as sales tax collected that’s based on a billing address. Pass NOTCURRENTLYKNOWN when using `totalPriceStatus` for a capability check.

`merchantInfo` Request Arguments

Field	Type	Description
`merchantID`	string, required	A Google merchant identifier issued after registration with the Google Pay Business Console. Required when PaymentsClient is initialized with an environment property of LIVE
`merchantName`	string, required	Pass in the name of the `Merchant` .

Add the payment methods supported by your site and any configurations of additional data that are expected in the response.
Set a totalPrice and currencyCode for the buyer to authorize.
Provide a user-visible merchantName .
- Use the TEST Merchant ID if you're in a sandbox environment.

info

Merchants that process transactions in the European Economic Area (EEA) or any other countries that are subject to Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) must include the countryCode, totalPrice, and merchantName parameters to meet SCA requirements.

Step 9: Create a Payment

After calling loadPaymentData using the Google Pay payments client object, a token will be returned in that response.

Copy

Copied

paymentsClient.loadPaymentData(paymentDataRequest).then(function(paymentData){
  // if using gateway tokenization, pass this token without modification
  paymentToken = paymentData.paymentMethodData.tokenizationData.token;
}).catch(function(err){
  // show error in developer console for debugging
  console.error(err);
});

Pass the third_party_token in and include a value for name when creating a Payment Instrument.
